Fi .'15 is a fragmentary vlew illustratinga -si e elevation ofV a rotating brush Aconf struct'ed in accordance with a further eme bodirnent of my invention;

with the depending well W provided at substantially its center .with a drain cock D.

-Co-acting with the upper or open face of thetub T is the cover C also substantially semi-circular in a vertical plane so tha't when the cover is 1n an applled position' upon .the tub a substantially 'cylindrical housing is afforded.

The free margins ofthe' tub T and the cover C are provided with recesses adapted to register to afford an entrance opening E and a discharge opening O as is believed to be clearly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings. l

Extending outwardly from the tub T adjacent the discharge opening O is the rinsing box -R adapted to contain -hot water. Supported by the upper portion of the box R; and immediately adjacent the discharge opening O is 'an endless apron A which is adapted to dischargeupon lthe basket B supported by the=upper longitudinal margins of the outer portion of the box. R.

The apron A is dispps'ed around the rollers 1 and one of said rollers has its shaft 2 'extended beyond a side of the box R. Securedto the extended portion of the shaft 21 is a sprocket iwheel 3 around which is disposeda sprocket chain 4 which isalso directed around a sprocket iixed tothe shaft. The shaft 6 is rotatably supported by a side wall of the tub-T and an outstand ing bracketf carriedby said side wall.

I The outer end of' the shaft 6 is provided with any suitable operating means and as is'particularly 'illustrated in Fig. 1 said operative.meanscomprises a crank 8 to afford mean'swhereby my improved apparatus `may be manually operated'. It is tobe understoodv however that -my improved device may be motor driven if preferred.

Disposed transversely of the tub T at the'` axialcentcr thereof 'is .a shaft 9 which extends beyond op osite sides of the 'tub T and one extend' portion thereof is pro videdwith a gearl 10. in mesh with a gear 1()a` fixed to the `,-shaft G'hereinbefore referred to.

Suitably .fixed to the shaft 9 and positioned substantially atfthe' transverse center "of the tub T is the beveled vgear G of predetermined diameter which isin meshwith the gears 411 carried by the inner end portions of the shafts 12 radiating from the shaft 9.' Eachvof the shafts 12 is rotatably disposed through the sleeve 14 interposed in a cross arm 15 connecting a parallel pair of arms'l radiating from the hubs 17 loosely mounted upon the shaft 9 adjacent the'op posite side walls of the tub T. During the operation of my improved apparatus Ithe shafts 12 are continuously rotated.

Each of the shafts 12 is provided with an open baror socket 18 extending longitudinally thereof and in which extends an end portion of a stem 19. AThe stem 19 is keyed to the shaft l2 throughthe mediumof a pin 2O extending through the inner end portion of said stem and the longitudinally disposed slots 21. formed in the shaft 12 at diametrically opposed parts. lnterposed between the inner end of the stem 19 anda'the base of the bar or socket 18 is an expansible member 22 herein disclosed as a convene tionalcoil spring which serves to constantly urge the stern' 19 outwardly.`

`Suitably fixed tothe outer end portion of each of the stems 19 is a substantially U- shaped clip or bracket 23 whichis interi,

sected by the pin 24. 25 denotes two opposed backs having their inner or adjacent ends returnedv on a predetermined cu'rva'- i ture as indicated at 26 and arranged side by side. The .curved portions 26 are provided wi'thfthe brackets 27 pivotally-engaged withv the pin 24 wherebyitwill be at once understoodj/hat the backs 25 are capable of swinging movement. .The opposite ends of each bf the backs 25 are provided with'lthe notches 28 in .which are sprung the exi tremities of the twisted wire strands 30. Held by the strands 30 are the outstanding bristles 31, The bristles '31 arev preferably stand hot. water.

Loosely mountedupon each 19 inwardly of-the bracket 23-is a sleeve 32 and pivotally engaged withl said sleeve 82 at diametrically opposed parts are the rigid links 33. which have theirouter ends pivotally engaged with the backs 25 at a' predetermined point inwardly from the' curved ends 26 thereof. It is thought .to be self evident that as the stem. 19 rotates the centrifugal action will result,in the* backs 25 moving outwardly so that .the same will of the arms -hog bristlesv in order to effectively with ing from 'said hubs are the rods 435.- Each of the hubs '34 is provided with four equal distantly spaced rods 35 andthe rods of `one hub 34 are' arranged 'in' Voutward divergence relative toftliei'rods 35 of `thehub i fofvthe'same L if;

' in paraueiism with sa r1-ais 35er a heb ai of the second pair andeachst off-'parallel'y rods `has securedfto'the outer extremity thereof the transversely disposed plates-36. The opposed edges of the plates 36 co-act-v Iing with each-set'of rods 3 5 are provided with the recesses'37 to afford ineans whereby articles 'may be held between said plates 36,

said articles being preferably hollow. ware such as pitchers,cups-or the like. It is to be understood thatthe plates 3.6 and their coperating partsjserve as carriers and in i like' I provide `each of. the plates 36 inwardly of the rece" 37' with the outstanding spring-or resilient arms 38 provided with the offset portions 39 to afford means wheref by a plate may be effectivelyv grasped as is 4particularly illustrated in Fig; 2 of the ac companying drawings. 'It will also be un Ederstood that a platecanbe grasped between the inner end portions of the arms 38 if preferred and the requirements of practice so necessitate.

1n order that each pair of co-acting platesA 36 may be relatively adjusted to compensate ""for the size of the articles to be cleansed I pivotally engage with adjacent rods of. one of the pa1rs`of hubs 34'f the links 40 `.Which are also pivotally engaged with thev sa.

sleeve 41 mounted for sliding movement `upon an adjacent arm 16. vThe sleeve 41 .is

provided with a spring latch 42 engageable -with the longitudinally s pacedrecesses 43 reduced in a face of the ar1n`16, as particu-4 larly illustrated in detail, Figs-11 Aand 12,

whereby the arms 35 and the plates 36 carr ried thereby may be effectively held in their different relative positions.v It will also be at once understood that upon the adjustment of a pair of arms 35 all of the pairs of arms 35 will be correspondingly adjusted.

l In order thatthe necessary access may be had Within the tub vor more 'particularly the vcover-C duringda cleansing operation I rovide' the cover vC with adoor 44 as i 'us trated in Fig, 2.

tween a pair of plates 36 or'arms 38l carried thereby through the entrance opening E and' as the 'shaft 9 is rotated the centrifugal ac tion will cause the backs 25'to swing upwardly to assure the requisite contact of the` ada ted to intermittently'swing around' the sha 9 and are normally held against sw'nging movement through the medlurno g the stops 45 and 46, the stop 45 being positioned adjacent the entrance Vopening. Ef and the stop 46 adjacent the discharge opening crank 8.

' An articleto be cleansed is applied be-A pposed arms 16 atione side of the tub T rest upon said stops 45 'and46 whereby the. 'arms 16 together withthe shafts 12 are held againstswingln movementrelative tothe shaft 9. Loose y,- 1nounted Zon 'theshaft 9 remotefromthe gear 1 0 is a large sprocket wheel 47 around which is disposed a sprocket chain 48 which 'is -also directed around a .sprocket lWheel 49v lpositioned in advance of the shaft 9 and fixed to a shaft 50 extending outw'ardly'of the tuby'lthrough theadjacent wallthereof. Theouter end of i the shaft 50 is operatively engaged through y 4the medium. of the sprocket chain 51 withv the shaft 9 wherebyitwill be perceivedthat` the sprocket 47 will be rotated around the shaft 9. The operative connections between lthe shaft 9 and the sprocket wheel 4 7 is such as to cause the sprocket 47 to mak'eacomplete rotation upon fourteen revolutions of the gear lllso `that each pair of parallel y arms 16 or a shaft 12 `will make a one-quarter turn upon threerevolutionsof the gear vthree-quarter revolutions of the gear 10l or rotationof the sprocket 47', or again sprocket 47 makes a complete rotation upon three and Radiating from the sprocket 47 is an arm .52 having secured to the outer end thereof and at `right angles thereto a substantially diamond-shaped plate 53 'which serves to adjust the stop 45 into an inoperative posii tion so'jthat the arm l16 engaged therewith may pass therebeyond. The plate 53 contacts, directly with 4a laterally directed finger 54 extending laterally from the stop 45 and through a longitudinally disposed slot 55` formed in a wall of the cylinder `56 i n 'which the stop 45 is slidably mounted; The stop45 is normally maintained in an opera- 'tive position through the medium of an ex-y panslble member 57 herein disclosed as a. conventional coil spring interposed between the inner end of the cylinder 5 6 and the stop 45. The cylinder 56 is operatively engaged with a side wall of the tub T and extends inwardlyof. the tub a requisite distance as particularl companying drawings.A 4

Secured to the arm 52at a predetermined so that the'extension (S0-may be causedto overlie a rod v16 and cause the same to swing y illustrated in Fig. 1 of the ac- 4.point inwardly oftheplate 5 3 is an end porltion of the arm 58 disposedat rightangles bristles 31 with the inner face, of the article. Thel arms 16 together with the Shafts 12 are' i. .lo

j that when theV arin59 is forced inwardly toward the arm 58 to cause the extension 60 l H'the arm 59 engages the strip or track'65 and is 5 forced inwardly thereby so that the eXten- 3 pending around the-.shaft 9.l The arms 58 and 59 are normally maintained separatedr in' order to arrange the extension 60 in an inoperative position through the medium of the expansible member 61 interposed between the varms 58 and 59 and surrounding a. pin 62. Thepin 62 is operatively engaged with the plate. 59and is loosely disposed through the plate 58 at a point immediately adjacent to the arm 58 immediately adjacent the arm 52 so to overlie'an air-m16 the free endportion of the pin 62 will underlie `the arm 16 to assure j the arm 16 moving in unison'with and at the same speed as the arm 52.

separating Vmovement of the arms 58 and 59 4is controlled by a second pin 63 operatively engaged with the arm 59 Aand loosely dis posed throughA the arm 58 and having its outer extremity providedwith the engagement or head 64 co-acting with lthe arm' 58 in a manner and Vfor a purpose which is believed to be clearly apparent, to'those skilled in the art to which my invention pertains.v

Securedto vthe side Wall of the tub` T adja centthe arms-x52 is an arcuate strip or track 65 lextending` from a point adjacent the upper oropen face of the tub T proper and terminating above the longitudinal center of the well W; As the plate 53 carried by the arm 52 engages the pin 5 4 of the stop 45 sion-i60 and the pin 62 is operativelyengaged with the arm 16; Then the arm 52 'passes the lower end of the strip or track 65 the arm 59 is automatically" forced upwardly the expansible member 61 to free fthe arm 16 of the extension 60 and theV pin 62.

At thistime the corresponding armlG rear- Wardly of the arm 16 just released 1s brought in contact `with the extended stop 45 while the corresponding arm 16 immediately in advanceof the released or depending arm 16 is in engagement with the stop 4 6.

The stop 46 comprises a plate 66 hingedly connected at its lower end and which has its upper end portion `provided with an `in turned extension 67 terminating 'in a delip 68 adapted to overlie the upper portion of a vertical plate69 suitably anside wall of the tub T. .The plate 66 is normally maintained at the limit of its eX- tended movement by' the spring member `71 interposed between the plates 66and 69 as clearly illustrated .in Fig. 7. Normally-the i inclination of the plate 66 is such as' to.

readily permit an arm 16 to pass upwardly thereby. The arm 16 and the shafts 12 are now held againstswinging movement about I theshaft 9until the arm 52 has again opera-- tively engaged the stop. 45 wherebyit will be at once understood that the arms v16and The" relative their coperating parts are intermittently swung or rotated about the shaft 9 in order to facilitate thecleansing operation of the articles carried by the plates 86.

When' he varms 16 and their` coperating parts are brought to a stop it will be at once self-evident that the eirpansible member 295f ofthe cleansing brushes co-acting with the stem 19 at the discharge opening O. will automatically deliver the article to-the apron A and that said article will be carried bythe apronA tothe basket B.: It is also to be understood that# the` tub T iis adapted to be filled with hot water andl that a 'suitable cleansing agent preferably of a saponaceolls character may be dissolved with the water.

Pivotally supported by the side walls of the tubfT is a substantially. U-shaped yoke Y which has its base portion extended Witlrl in the well. W and. pivotally supported by the side arms 7 2 ad]acent the lower or intermediate portion 73 thereof is a cradle-74.

Rotatably supportedvby the cradle 74.isa plurality of brushes 75 extendmg transversely of the tub 'l and .preferably arranged in arcuate relation. vThe brushes 75 areadapted to co-act with the bottoms or l outer faces of the articles and thereby fur- 4ther facilitate the cleansing thereof. The

yoke Y is adapted to be .rocked to further assure the cleansing action of 'the brushes 75 and as herein 'embodied one of the side arms` 72 is provided above its pivot 7 6'with an angular extension 77. The extension 77 is provided with a longitudinallydisposed slot 78 through which is directed a pin 79 ferred to. i

- I. also found it of advantage to lprovide `the bottom wall of the tub T with parallel track ways 81 with which the articles to be cleansed contact and which serve to facilitate' the travel of the articles within the tub, l also found it of advantage to seat within esv carried by an arm V80; The arm 80 is suitably fixed to "the shaft 6 hereinbefore' re-V the well W the bridge member M which includes the end plates 82 adapted to abut`tlie nected by the arcuate tracks 83 adapted to register with the traclrways 81 so that the wall of the well' W. The plates 82 are conl dropping of the articles being cleansed Avvithinthe well W is prevented. The' bridge member M may be held'within the Well W in any desired manner but as is particularly V'illust-rated in Fig. 3 the member M is maintained within theA Well `W'through the medium of the clips 84 overlyingthe end plates i 82 ofthe bridge member M.

4I also found it of advantage to connect the end plates 82 of the bridge member M vat one side thereof withthe rod` 65 and which rod '85 serves to guide the cradle 74 .in its movements. Vl. also found it of ad vantage-to interpose between the inner end portion of the rinsing bo'X R and the tub T the draining pipe 86in Which is yinterposed a controlling valve 87; It Will be at once self' evident that when desired 'the water Within the boX R -Ina'y be drained' into the vtub T and Withdrawn from` the tub T throughthe drain cock D. v l As isparticularly illustrated in the em- .bodiment of my invention as disclosed by Figs. 15 and 16 of the accompanying draw ings I find it of advantage to secure to each of the backs the plates 88 arranged `on a predetermined pitch` so that as the brushes operate Within the fluid contained in the tub T a `stronger pressure is imposed upon the articles to be. cleansed.

Pivotally engaged with the opposite end` vportionsof the shaft 2 are the vlon itudinally disposed` bars 89 cornectedl a jacent their opposite ends by. the transversely spaced' rods 90. The free end portions Aof the rods 89 rotatably support the shaft 91 of the second or outer roller 1 and the termil nale of said shaft 91 are adapted to engage the upper edges of the sides of the box R to limit the downward swinging movement of the bars' 89. In view of -this construction it will be at once self evident that the apron A can be readily raised in order to permit access within the box R so that, if desired, the dishes within the basket B may be thoroughly rinsed Within the bor: E. y' I also find it of advantage to provide means for pre.-

venting the dishes delivered upon the apron A from falling hach within the tub Tr As herein disclosed I accomplish this result through the medium of the arms 92 extends ing longitudinally of lthe apron A at the margins `thereof and at the inner end of said apron. The outer ends of the arms 92 are continued by or integrally connected with the transverse rod 93 rotatably 'supported by the bars 89 whereby the arms 92 are capable of swinging emovement in a ver tical direction. The inner end portions of the arms 92 are continued by the inwardly directed extensions 94 having'their terminals rearwardly directed as at 95 and eX- tending partially within the tub T through the discharge opening O. As the dishes `are brought up to the discharge opening R the arms 92ers raised upwardly by contact of said dishes `with the terminals 95 so that no .obstruction is offered to the discharge. of

yated and it Will also be obvious that my inventi'onis susceptibleof Asome change and lmodification without materially departing from thev appearance'and spirit thereof and y for this reason I donotovishito be under-` stood as` limiting'myself to the precisearrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention` in practice except as hereinafter claimed. I claim;`l
